Guys
@Screambowl and
@nongaddarliberal there is a very less chances for skimmers between India and China. Day by day, I am losing hope of any skimmers.
You guys are taking about attacking cities. Are you nuts. Can you imagine the consequences!! You know when was the last time cities were purposefully hit! It was in WW2. There were attacks on cities during Vietnam war too, but the aim was to hit Sam sites and ammo dumps. No missions we're flown to hit an entire city block.
I do understand that unguided Rockets are less accurate. It doesn't make any sense to build a 400km unguided rocket. Either it must be a guided one(with no info on guidance and unguided is just a cover-up) or the range is wrong.
For sake of argument, let's assume that unguided rockets with 400 km exists. There is a High Value Target close to city say less than 200 mts. I bet, IA knows about this kind of things. No one will construct their decoy infra or a real functioning infra close to city; especially if the enemy is China.
Chances of high value targets closer to the city are very less. For sake of argument, let's assume there is one. This Target is only 200 km for border, so that long range Chinese rocket artillery can fire safely, in short surviving the IAF wrath.
A salvo of 8 rockets fired at the Target, let's assume that 2 of the rockets might hit the city border. Can you estimate the casualty count!?. It wouldn't cross 50 people. Now before anyone comes to the conclusion on the loss of life, chance of the PLA rocket artillery hitting any of our cities by mistake is less than the one in a million.
However, there is one more option i.e. hitting the cities intentionally. No one will be silly enough to do so. Whole world will be against China. Going to war with India is one thing and attacking Indian Cities(intentionally) is another. One direct attack might cause 1000 deaths at Max. Every Indian will be looking for revenge. This will be very bad for China.
In short, either intentionally or unintentionally attack on Indian cities will be a death blow(sanctions and trade) to China. International court, yes China hardly cared about the decision on SCS, but war crime of this nature (attacking civilians) has it's own impact consequences.
Thus I rest my case
